And they all lived happily ever after

When they get a little bigger, touch the seedling plants and see if you can smell sun gold. There may be others that stink though.

I had to post because of your hilarious title. I'm so sorry that happened to you! I just know I will not escape my current plans without a disaster here and there.

One foot in front of the other, lol.

I feel your pain. I call them wonder plants. You wonder what they are. Seriously though, I bet someone would be happy to take at least some of them off your hands. There are no bad seedlings, only some are better than others.

I have some wonder seed in a little cup. I found it on the bottom of my seed box. I will plant it if for no other reason than curiosity.

"Wonder Plants", love that! Much more hopeful than just "Mystery Plants".

I have given away about 60 plants to date. Really over grew. My plants are all so healthy. And I still have about 30 plants to give my Daughter and her friends.

My tissue box has been put away for now.

Boy I can say this has happened more than once! I am changing my strategy this next year and unfortunately have a new kitten that thinks the world is a play toy. I am hoping strategy proves smarter than cat. I remember on here somewhere there was a story of a tonado and mixed up seedlings?? Am I crazy and made this up?

What fun we have with our seeds! Even the plants with labels purchased from others aren't as they were marked!!! But most still taste so fine. The plant labeled Gold Stripes is a small cherry in red and green stripes. One marked as Chocolate Stripes is a regular looking medium red. Oh well.
